Sometimes, it’s the subtle moments in life that remind us how small we really are compared to the rest of the world. I was often reminded of that while watching Epic, Blue Sky Studio’s newest creation (They also made Ice Age, Rio, and those 3-D Dr. Seuss movies.). I was also reminded of how unsubtle this fantasy-adventure movie could be—the title of the movie rests my case. But that doesn’t mean I didn’t have any fun!

Any one that knows me knows I’m a rap and hip/hop fiend, so I immediately knew that Reincarnated was one I much check out. The documentary follows the iconic Snoop Dogg and his transformation into reggae music.

Reincarnated shares with us the newly named Snoop Lion's spiritual journey to Jamaica to reflect on his past career, failures, loves, regrets, and losses. The documentary shows us how Snoop’s new sound will not only change himself but hopefully allow people to share peace and positivity through the power of reggae music.

Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey

Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’” is one of the most popular songs of all time, a cheesy, soaring ballad that has come to be loved by millions of people un-ironically. This sloppy documentary, also called Don’t Stop Believin’, aims to be just as inspiring, but it’s like watching a cover band: they’ve got the music down pat, but the passion is curiously absent.

Interview: Ramona Diaz: Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey

Ramona S. Diaz's Don't Stop Believin': Everyman's Journey tells the story of Arnel Pineda, a man who was plucked from YouTube to become the new frontman for Journey, the iconic rock & roll band.  Diaz was given complete access to the band and their 'process,' capturing everything as they adjusted to their new lead singer and preformed on their highly successful Revolution Tour.  We got the chance to sit down with Diaz and discuss her film, the art of making a documentary, and what the band thought after seeing the film.
